David Gray has loads - he's rather known - or them but certainly one of the saddest songs ever is "The One I Love."
Sad songs- We love them- We need them
Hello everyone,
I was listening the other day to a sad song on my playlist and realized their ability to invoke a powerful emotional reaction. Usually about someone in your life. Your children, your special lady or man or maybe someone who is no longer living. I realized we need these songs to remind us life is short and to remember what is most important to us. I thought I would ask everyone to list a song or two that is special to them. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a sad song. I have children so I will start with a few songs that remind me to tell them I love them more often or give them an extra hug or two.
Cats in the cradle- Harry Chapin

A ghost in the house by Alison Krauss – grieving If Tomorrow never comes by Ronan Keating and also by Brenda Kinnear - The subject is in the title. Sweet old world by Emmylou Harris – grieving. Yesterday when I was young by Roy Clark, Dusty Springfield and others – regret. Try to remember by Jerry Orbach - nostalgia. If I Loved You by Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae from the show Carousel (and we know how that turned out).

@switzer145 another vote for "Sweet Old World"! Yes! However, as much as I like Emmy Lou’s cover of it, I am prejudiced and I love the original by Lucinda Williams.
